Brunello di Montalcino 2015

Produced from an uncompromising selection of the finest Sangiovese Grosso grapes.

In vineyards with ideal elevation, well-drained soils, and southwest-facing exposure yield all of the qualities that converge to produce the finest expression of this ancient grape variety. It is an elegant, well-balanced wine of magnificent structure.

This is a pure and beautiful Brunello with super fine and abundant tannins that are comprehensive and expansive. 

Brunello ages well and is great for collecting. The wine is bold, rich, and full-bodied. Red and black fruit assertively grace the nose and palate.

Brunello is made totally from Sangiovese grapes that take on the characteristics of the soil, vegetation, and climate of the region in which it is grown.

Layered aromas and velvety tannins complement medium-high acidity. Consider decanting this wine to enjoy its full complexity.

This wine pairs well with big protein ladened dishes. You may also enjoy it with salted cheeses and cured meats. Try to avoid pairing with dishes where the wine would overwhelm flavors, such as leafy greens and subtly seasoned meats.
